Potato Latke
18 Dec 2008
Chanukah

imageIt’s just about Chanukah time again but who says that Chanukah has to be only oil and potatoes? On the other hand, what would Chanukah be without that old time favorite, greasy potato latkes? And while I’m quite sure that most everyone out there already knows how to make a regular latke, how about some different ideas that shed a new light on the old Chanukah theme of latkes, potatoes, and cheese. There’s a wealth of possibilities out there …

Have a great Chanukah! Kol tuv, Tamar Ansh
